They Call Me "The Percolator"

Finally came up with my Mob name while sitting here with a sugar headache editing our Halloween photos. "The Percolator" seems just right, doesn't it? Okay, it's not REALLY a mob, it's just another Facebook application....but it's kinda fun! If you're on Facebook and decide you'd like to join my mob, just let me know and I may send you an invite. After I clear it with the Godfather, of course. Thus far, I have mugged and burgled, knocked over a liquor store, and performed several car jackings. Fun! No rival mob wars yet......but soon.

Okay, enough about my mafia game.....did everyone have a safe and happy Halloween? What costumes did you wear/dress your kids and/or pets in? Rick had to work, so we decided Jacob would wear a costume and come trick-or-treating with the big kids, as opposed to being strapped into a stroller and tagging along with mommy like a wee baby. So he was Batman, Jack was a magician, Maggie was a Scary Godmother, and Alex was a creepy clown. We had a lot of fun putting their costumes together, and the big kids did a pretty good job of looking out for the little ones. What wonderful weather we had, too! Usually Halloween is cold, windy and rainy. EVERY year, I swear, the temperature could be 80 degrees the day before, then the next night the temps plummet into the 40 degree range. With rain, wind and occasionally.....hail. It's ridiculous and it happens EVERY year. EXCEPT this year! We could hardly believe it! Got some great pics, and the kids all had FULL buckets of candy to get sick on for the rest of the year! Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays, right after Christmas and just before Easter. (Uh, not calendar-wise, but favorites-wise, lol!)

We went trick-or-treating in the neighborhood I grew up in....this is the house I lived in for most of my childhood! Looks a bit more beat-up than I remembered....and they took out the plum-colored tree that grew right outside my window, the jerks! *sigh*

In spite of how grouchy they all look in this picture, they really WERE having fun trick-or-treating, lol!


Hope your Halloween was happy!

Tomorrow I'll announce the winner of my Breast Cancer Awareness Month RAK!

Done!

Just put on the finishing touches last night.
All 20 are done, and I LOVE how they came out.

A Leeetle Bit Closer to Done....

Sweet little zombie heads, waiting patiently for their coat of matte sealant.

Black spraypaint makes me happy. :)
These still need to be decoupaged, then sealed.

More updates to come!!

64 Days 'Til Halloween....

....and I'm preparing my zombie army. MWAH-ha-hahahahaa!!!Okay, really, the little heads are for a Halloween swap on Rachel's site...I can't wait to show you the finished product! It's going to be sooo wonderfully scary!
I was going to include these M&Ms as my treat for the swap, but the bag was somehow accidentally opened and these sweet little candies met an untimely demise. MWAH-Ha-hahahahahaaa!! (Sorry, I'm just in the mood for evil laughter this morning!)

In other news, I've started swapping over at Swap-Bot this week! I love how you can pick your own swap and you have approximately one gazillion choices....I've recently completed an ephemera swap, a scrap swap, and a vintage children's book ATC swap. If you decide to sign up over there, just be aware that it's an international site....4 of these ATCs are leaving our country and heading to Canada and Sweden! I'd never mailed anything to Sweden before....it was kinda cool! Seeing the address made me want to talk like that chef from the Muppet Show.
And this is the felt turtle I made for Katie for her birthday last week! I still need to give it to her, but it was made on time, I swear!! Okay, I've gotten the kids off to school after they missed the bus for the second day in a row. *sigh* I'm going back to bed. Happy Wednesday!
